Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt

Whats better than a chocolate cookie?  A Double chocolate chip cookie with a sprinkle of Sea Salt to make the flavors go boom!  Crackly crunchy on top and soft on the inside….a grown up cookie even the kids will love!

 

I am not much of a baker…I don’t do fancy.  For as much as I love to cook, I have no patience in the kitchen.  Strange combo for a food blogger,  but I got a feeling there are a lot of cooks like me out there, who LOVE GOOD FOOD but struggle with the mess and the prep.

I am also a cheater.  I love to cut out unnecessary steps.   Rather than dirty a bowl mixing up the dry and wet ingredients, I just measure the dry ingredients right into the combine wet ingredients.     Brilliant!  Yes?  No?

I am sure there is a  pastry chef out there rolling their eyes and thinking this is such an amateur move. (ya, right…like a pastry chef reads my blog). But it works.  One less dirty bowl.

You clean your bowl  pastry chef person…I’ll clean mine.

Why do I do I take these culinary risks?  Because I love you guys, and I want you to be happy…and chubby.  Be me.  Happy and chubby.  It’s not a bad thing. And you get cookies instead of kale…and people will like you better.  I know this because if I brought a container full of kale to a friend, they would not like me…I live to be liked, so I bring my friends cookies.  Nuff said…

Mix up the dough, sprinkle with salt, pop in the oven.  Instant cookie gratification!

Why we love these Double Chocolate Salted Cookies

  •  You don’t have to chill the dough.  You can can go right into feeding the cookie beast as soon as possible.
  • You make everything in one bowl.
  • You don’t need a bunch of fancy chocolate.  Regular old Hersheys cocoa and some good semi-sweet chocolate chips will do the trick.
  • They are not kale and your friends will like you

    Do you cool on the trays or on a rack?

      I’m not a very fancy baker 🙂 Cooling on the trays works just fine for me. Kathi

      If you mean flaxseed oil you can use this combo: mix 1-1/2 tablespoons oil mixed with 1-1/2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon baking powder per egg. Or 1/4 cup applsauce will sometimes work.

    I tried this recipe twice and it was perfect! Third time trying it the cookies are spreading when baked, any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

      Hi Jad – most of the time its oven temp. Is it possible your oven was not preheated? There could be other factors as well, outdated leveners (baking soda and baking powder) or not enough flour…but usually it’s the oven temp.

      Ugh! So sorry Linda! We updated to a recipe card and some things didn’t convert properly. I updated the instructions to include adding the chips. Truly appreciate your note!

    We are having trouble getting g the cracks to happen on our second and third trays in the oven. The top tray crackles just fine. Do you rotate your trays? Do you cool on the trays or wire rack? Thanks!

      Hi Linh – I’m sure it has something to do with too many trays and not enough heat on the top of the cookie. I’d bake one sheet at a time if possible or at least reduce to two and put a good space between them.
